PORCELAIN 4
Porcelain is a 100% natural material made from clay, sand, and feldspar that contains a high percentage of a mineral known as kaolinite and other mineral oxides, which are responsible for the strength and durability of porcelain. This mixture is put into a kiln and fired at high temperatures up to 2000°F. The result is an incredibly dense material that is nearly impervious to stains, heat, UV rays, and scratching. Porcelain colors come in numerous shades. Advanced digital imaging techniques allow vivid graphics that mimic the most beautiful marble, other natural stones, wood, metal, or any desired pattern to be applied directly to the porcelain slabs by the manufacturer.
Moderno is the largest national surfacing company 100% dedicated to the fabrication & installation of large-format porcelain (5’x10’) slabs.

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S Q
What porcelain finishes does Moderno offer?
A
Polished and matte. Polished porcelain has a gloss that opens the space creating a lighter and brighter feel. A matte finish conceals the light reflection efficiently for a clean, refined look.
Q
Does Moderno offer multiple edges selections?
A
We use mitered edges on all our porcelain applications. The two porcelain slabs come together at a 45-degree angle to create a seamless edge.
Q
What is the thickness of porcelain?
A
We work with 6mm or 12mm porcelain depending on the application.
Q
Will my countertops be 6mm thick?

Moderno’s proprietary assembly method, combined with NASA developed honeycomb substrate of fiberglass and aluminum, makes Moderno countertops and vanities the strongest in the market. The standard sizes are between 1.25 to 2 inches or any desired thickness.

Porcelain is created with zero-waste manufacturing. It’s a man-made material created from responsibly sourced natural raw materials like clay, sand, and feldspar, the three most abundant minerals on earth.

We make it into custom furniture, accessories, applications. The possibilities are endless!
